My Noble Steed

[platinum_black]

Hey guys, have posted quite a lot of things about how to do this and that and i thought that i should post a pic of my 91 that way if nething changes you can all see the progress but also i can look back from time to time aswell, she doesnt look great but shes better than she looks. shes got a little surface rust, nothing to worry about just yet that i am going to get rid of and repaint, what can i say she isnt a bad buy at £400 including clutch plates and oil filter.

so far i have upgraded to led indicators.
new front brake pads and rotor.
green led clock lights.
memory foam seat panels.
89 clipons.
clutch plates.
upgraded to push in side light rather than ye olde twisty thing.



things still to do, change the oil filter.
change the chain.
change to an F headlight (or twins or anything else that so happens to catch my eye and looks good lol)
fit hud that i created with indicator displays for between the tops of the speedo and tach.
remove rust.
strip and get powdercoated (in the slightly further future)

So there you go guys theres my pride and joy.

nice looking gs ! do you know who made the windscreen, and how much ?

is it just me, or is the font size for 'SUZUKI' on the tank just a little off ? maybe it's been repainted ?

rock on !

is the 'gs500e' and 'suzuki' painted or stickers?

thanks yeah i am hapy with her, not sure who makes the screen it came with but it has the brand on the side of it, i will check for you in the morning and you are right the bike has been resprayed it used to be red, but then i was surprised at how good a job it was considering that it was done with a tin of spray paint. they didnt even laquer over the stickers.

I like how your bike looks as-is with the small windscreen and stock headlight.  If you go with a smaller headlight a common regret is the wiring shows.

thanks, i totally understand that but i am not a fan of the big single spot, id rather get twins and do a rewire to take the connections to below the seat or get an F headlight and make some sort of casing for the back of it to hide the wiring.
